APRIL 1, 2000 11 Tribal Health Plan changes Board members needed There has been some positive changes in the Tribal Health Security Pro gram. The need for better health care coverage is always a priority to the Member Services Department as well as Tribal Council. Three issues have arised due to the upgrade of the health plans: 1) Indemnity Plan members were moved on to the Primary Care Physician plan: Members for this portion of the upgrade were chosen geographi cally. If you were one of the immediate transfers you should have received a upgrade packet from ODS. You will need to choose a physician from the directory packet ODS sent you. You will need to contact us by 04152000 to designate your primary care physi cian; failure to do so could result in unpaid bills 2) Sound Health Washington enrollees may need to choose a new Primary Care Physician: Changes in the Washington physician panel; participants on the P067 plan in Washington will also be receiving new ID cards. If your new ID card states primary care physician "not selected" then you will also need to contact our office so that we may assist you in finding one. 3) Elders who were switched, in error by ODS: Elders who were switched in error by ODS will be receiving new ID cards. Benefits have not changed for this group and your phar macy benefits are at 100 coverage and you have no co-pays. We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Please call us with any questions.
